This chapter could stray from the plot a bit but, I have serious writer's block. I'm lucky I managed to write this!
Disclaimer: I don't own Ben 10: Alien Force.
This plot and Sarah and Nelson Ashford are rightfully mine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julie was hovering inside that blue hover beam with chains holding her arms tightly against her back inside the world of unconsciousness. Her right arm was broken and beside her right temple was dried blood from the explosion. Ben and Sarah could just see the bruises on her arms from the chains. A fresh blood wound was easily noticed on her side. Ben immediately pulled Sarah into his arms to make her silent sobbing subside. He felt the need to cry but, he had to be strong. He had to be strong for Sarah, Julie, Gwen, Kevin, Nelson, Ship, himself and that small, precious life in his beloved's stomach. That made his eyes suddenly widen. Was the baby even still alive? His thoughts were suddenly pushed aside when he saw Vilgax activate his gun and aim it at Julie, ready to fire.
"Not on my watch, Vilgax," Sarah whispered.
She attempted to fly out and save her but, Ben pulled her back. Sarah just glared at him and forced herself out of his tight grasp, accidentally elbowing him in the stomach and lower area during the progress.
"What are you doing? Vilgax's gonna kill her!" hissed Sarah.
"I know. I'll hold him off while you free Julie and get her out of here," whispered Ben.
"What about you?" whispered Sarah.
"As soon as you say you're in the ship safe and sound, I'll follow after I've made sure that Vilgax doesn't follow. Now, get ready," whispered Ben as he activated his Omnitrix and searched through the aliens.
Sarah got ready as Ben slammed the Omnitrix down and transformed into Chromostone. Vilgax fired the gun but, Ben flew in front of Julie and shielded her from the killer blast.
"GO! GET HER OUT OF HERE!" Ben shouted.
Sarah flew towards Julie and destroyed the hover beam. As Julie plummeted to the ground, Sarah flew underneath her and caught her. Using her powers, she broke Julie's chains and held her unconscious figure closer to her own. She flew off, leaving Ben all alone with Vilgax.
"It's been a long time, Vilgax. I really don't appreciate you hurting my girlfriend," Ben said as he blasted at Vilgax.
"The Omnitrix is mine! You can't escape this time, Tennyson! Especially if you value your mate's life," hissed Vilgax.
"What are you talked about?" asked Ben. Now he was confused!
Vilgax fired his gun. Ben followed the trail of the blast and realised that it was aimed at Julie and Sarah. He flew off to save them but, Vilgax grabbed him and threw him against the wall.
"SARAH! LOOK OUT!" Ben screamed.
Sarah was at the control panel trying to get the door open. When she heard Ben's scream, she turned around and saw the blast heading towards her. Her body became paralysed as the blast drew closer.
Thank goodness Julie's behind me so, she'll be safe.
"SARAH! YOU IDIOT! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Ben screamed louder than his previous scream.
Just when the blast was a few centimetres away, Ben knocked her out of the way still in his Chromostone form. (AN: He finally managed to get free from the wall.) They wobbled on their hover boards a bit but, they eventually regained their balance. Sarah tightened her grip on her unconscious baby sister.
"What were you doing!? You 2 could've been killed!" Ben yelled.
"I was trying to get the door opened. The control panel to open the door is locked with a password. I tried 'Ben Tennyson' and 'Vilgax' but, the door wouldn't budge," explained Sarah.
"Have you tried 'Omnitrix'?" questioned Ben.
"I was going to before you screamed at me about the blast," Sarah answered.
"Try that. I'll see how long I can hold him off. Get as far away from him as possible. Make sure you avoid his minions," ordered Ben.
Sarah flew to the control panel and typed in the password Ben suggested. As soon as she typed it in, the doors opened.
"Thanks!" she called as she flew away.
"STOP THEM!" Vilgax shouted.
A bunch of minions and drones came out of nowhere and flew in the direction Sarah just went. Ben tried to fly off to protect them but, Vilgax grabbed him and pushed him against the wall.
"At last, after all these years, the Omnitrix shall be mine and there's nothing you can do to stop me," Vilgax hissed.
Ben returned back to normal glaring at his most hated enemy. He thought for a minute than held his wrist in front of Vilgax.
"Alright, Vilgax. You win," said Ben.
"You're actually surrendering to me?" questioned Vilgax. Now it was his turn to be confused.
"You can have me but, you have to leave my family and friends alone. If you hurt them, Tetrax and I will make sure you won't live long enough to return to the Null Void," Ben threatened.
"This is even better than I've expected it to be. But, whether you give me the Omnitrix or not, your precious mate will stilll pay the price," Vilgax said.
"What are you talking about!?" shouted Ben.
"After I knocked her unconscious when she came to from the stun beam, I injected a toxin into her blood stream which it life threatening for Sonakites, whether their full-blooded Sonakites or not. She'll die either way and she'll die because you couldn't care about her enough to save her," hissed Vilgax.
Just then, an explosion shook the ship. Everyone wobbled a bit but, soon regained their balance. Just then, Vilgax's minions and drones came in unharmed. This actually made Ben worried. Were the girls OK?
"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Vilgax boomed.
"Those Sonakites won't disturb your plans anymore, sir. When we were fighting the Ashford girl, we knocked both Sonakites into a control panel which exploded upon contact. The girls are dead," the minion reported.
To be continued...
